The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2434: Official Partnership (Part 2)

Masters Hao and Qin's mouths twitched, a familiar sight as their biological son reveled in playfully vexing them. Faced with his antics, they mused on their options - could they simply cast him aside? Unlikely.
Yang Ruxin chuckled, a playful jab directed at the fathers, "Your posteriors will certainly expand once you return home."
Hao Jian, however, dismissed the threat with a shake of his head. "Ruxin, have no fear. My old man would awake in laughter from a dream if he could conduct business with you. If I weren't so incredibly charming, you wouldn't even spare him a glance. Therefore, he's too afraid to strike me now..." He sported a decidedly roguish grin.
"I shall see if I don't beat you to the brink of death!" Master Hao could no longer contain his exasperation, raising his cane.
"Go on, try and hit me." Hao Jian darted to Yang Ruxin's side, sticking his tongue out at his father. "Sister, if he dares lay a hand on me, we simply won't do business with him. Let him return to hawking rice..."
Qin Shou subtly positioned himself behind Hao Jian.
"You..." Master Hao's fury was palpable, his liver likely aching from the sheer audacity. This was, undeniably, his own flesh and blood.
Yang Ruxin let out a snort of amusement.
"A grave lack of proper upbringing!" Master Hao managed a strained chuckle.
Yang Ruxin, unperturbed, continued, "If you all concur on this endeavor, I shall then present the formal contract. Upon signing and sealing, and once the workshop is established, operations will commence."
"Madam, we certainly have no objections and can proceed with signing and sealing immediately. However, I harbor a slight concern. The preceding herbal tea venture was managed by the Fang Family; what if..."
"Ze'er intends to pursue a path in politics." Yang Ruxin directed a glance toward Master Qin. "The recent disturbances served merely as a trial run for him. In the future, our medicinal wine and herbal tea ventures will undoubtedly expand. While your esteemed families possess considerable wealth, you cannot possibly encompass the entire nation, can you? As previously stated, our strategy moving forward involves distributors. We are prepared to entrust the general distributorship for Jiangnan to the Yuan Family..."
"Understood." Both Master Qin and Master Hao hailed from backgrounds steeped in commerce. How else could their family businesses have achieved such magnitude without a certain shrewdness? Although some of Yang Ruxin's proposed terms were novel, they did not impede comprehension. Indeed, several contemporary business models bore a resemblance to this distributor approach.
With the crucial points settled, Yang Ruxin summoned Du Chengxiu and Miao Jian, presenting the meticulously prepared cooperation agreements. Three copies were made, one for each signatory, ready for the official signing and sealing.
"From this moment forward, we are united in purpose. I sincerely hope for a harmonious collaboration." Yang Ruxin raised her glass of milk, "Let us grow together and achieve prosperity side-by-side in the days to come."
A brief moment of bewilderment flickered across the faces of the others, quickly replaced by them raising their teacups. "Indeed, Madam, we shall follow your lead in all future endeavors."
Yang Ruxin's lips curved slightly. The phrasing felt a trifle peculiar, yet considering the era of feudal society and her current elevated position, she could comprehend the sentiment and chose not to correct them.
Following the tea ceremony, the two families, father and son from both the Qin and Hao households, departed with buoyant spirits. Their immediate task was to secure funding, identify suitable shop locations, and recruit the necessary personnel.
The construction of the winemaking workshop proceeded at a measured pace, primarily due to the stringent storage requirements inherent in winemaking. From the period before the New Year until the present, only the foundational framework had been erected, with an estimated completion date a month hence. Subsequently, the construction of a bridge would be essential, as Yang Ruxin's residence was separated from the village by a river. Currently, any access required a lengthy detour to reach the main road leading into the village. The furniture and medicinal wine workshops were situated at one extremity of the village, thus the bridge would significantly enhance the convenience of travel for all involved.
Despite the presence of individuals overseeing the construction, Yang Ruxin felt a persistent inclination to not delegate entirely and resolved to make occasional visits to the two workshops within the village.
